We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at Lucia's. As always, the food was excellent: We had Chicken Marsala, Veal Saltimbocca, and Chicken Saggittario, all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The wait staff at Lucia's is terrific -- friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive.

This was our first visit to La Brasa. Wish we had tried it sooner. We started with the oysters, which were excellent, followed by the duck empanadas and potato w/mushroom starters, which were also great. For our mains, we had the pork shoulder and a steak dish, both of which were cooked perfectly and delicious. We wrapped up with the chocolate mousse and flan desserts, which were a great ending to a wonderful evening. The bar drinks were creative and tasty. Our server (Ryan) was terrific, and the overall staff was attentive throughout the evening. We'll definitely be going back.
